Unfortunately, there was extensive ghosting/lack of follow up from initial outreach to post interview. Not only was I in limbo for several weeks/month from their initial interest (several emails with no reply and then a phone call was answered) but also post hiring manager interview, there was no response to 2 emails requesting feedback. My interview was only 30 minutes, and the hiring manager was a bit late and I didn't get much time on the backend or time to ask all my questions. Sadly, I was so excited about this brand and disappointed to not at least been told they wouldn't be moving forward. Interviewing is nerve wracking and difficult, and some respect/follow-up would have been appreciated. Initial HR conversation went so well so I didn't expect things to play out as they did.
The hiring process consisted of three structured rounds of interviews, followed by a final offer decision. The first round is a 30‑minute interview with Human Resources, the second is a 1.5‑hour panel interview with peers, and the third is a 1‑hour interview with the direct manager, after which an offer was extended.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you walk through your experience collaborating across functions in a matrix organization and how you ensure alignment and execution?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Harley-Davidson, Inc. (Milwaukee, WI) in Apr 2019
Interview
I had a brief call with one of their recruiters about a newly created position that was very engaging but lite on details for what the role would actually do. I then had an interview that was once again engaging but it was obvious that they were unsure of what they would want this role to do.
